The game doesn't end and you can't win. Other than that, you can do whatever you want. Build the biggest fleet, have the biggest mines, research the greatest techs, build the biggest defenses. Kill your enemies, kill your friends' enemies, kill your friends for all we care. Choose your style of play...

It's the loss RATIO that's most impressive with that hit!

60 : 1

If only I could have more combat where I got a loss ratio like that...

You probably felt this one when it happened. It shook the Universe.... [238M TD] The attacker has won the battle ! You receive 288503 units of Metal, 595151 units of Crystal and 2078585 units of Deuterium. The attacker has lost a total of 25.901.500 units. The defender has lost a total of 211.036.25...

Or maybe it's placing a colony and farming planets that others have already claimed that has garnered you that attention.

The player protection cap is 10,000 points if I understand correctly. SirDuction did 30M damage to a player that you say should have player protection...

Righteous hit, good profits. Slash -- you're a poor sport. If you weren't the moderator here, I'm certain there would be moderator action against you. To all of the fair-minded players, it's obvious that SirDuction knocked caspertheghost back into NooB protection and that he had no such protection b...

Defenses rebuild approximately 70% after each battle, so plan accordingly. Always escort your cargo ships unless attacking an undefended inactive player. Expect to take some casualties in battle. Send more cargo ships than you'll need to haul the resources away.

If someone doesn't live up to their end of a trade, I think they also get banned under the milking rules.

Seriously -- we need some idea of how ZorgEmpire deals with combat. It is completely unlike any of the other similar games. I just had another combat where I came in with overwhelming firepower (the only way) and in the final round of combat, faced off against 1 BC, 1 Small Shield and 1 Large shield...
